cargo newcpp

This tool extends Cargo to allow for the creation of new C++ projects in the spirit of cargo new <project>

Ensure that you have a fairly recent version of rust/cargo installed. On Ubuntu you might also want to install cmake and gcc or g++ so that you can actually build project.

console,ignore cargo install cargo-newcpp

Create a new project
